Midwinter 05, Champion of Champions Race

March 27, 2005

While we eventually had to abandon the race having broken both the jib and spinnaker halyards we did have a great start. The following picture is taking from the committee boat roughly 5 seconds before the start.

27 seconds later we are surfing downwind with the spinnaker (almost) all the way to the top. Note that there isnt another boat in sight despite a 10 boat fleet and the shot being taken from he committee boat.
